A Small Gift for a Big Favor

The story behind provisorisch.ai

In 2026, we traveled to Germany to modernize our facility. We had everything planned out and carefully thought through — or so we thought. Once we were on site, we ran into challenges no one had anticipated.

We had problems, and we were out of time.

In the break room, we met Marek Stapff (opens in a new tab), Sam Mueller (opens in a new tab), and their small team. Marek originally comes from the Erzgebirge, Germany's Ore Mountains, and these days he is wherever he is needed. Sam has lived for years on an island on the other side of the world. We got to talking and told them about our troubles.

Even though it was already late in the evening and Marek Stapff and his team had been hard at work for many hours, he offered to help. We gladly accepted.

Their support saved our project!

Marek, you'd mentioned that you would have loved to buy the domains provisorisch.de and provisorisch.com from a domain reseller, but they were too expensive for you. Well, it's 2026 now — artificial intelligence is everywhere, opening up all kinds of new possibilities.

For everything you did, all you would take was an endless supply of coffee and, at the end, pizza for your team. We simply can't accept that: We've registered the domain provisorisch.ai and prepaid the registrar fees for the next ten years.

Have fun with it — and use it wisely.

All the best,
